The first Baptist Sunday School held
It's regular session yesterday morning at
Eastport. Mr.. ]. ID. Rayield, officiating.
The attendance was double that of the
Sunday previous and every one present
went 10 work in earnest. This is a good
field for mission work as there is quite
large number of young people growing
up in the village who ought to be encour-
aged by all christian people that have a
desire 10 help christian work
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
The services in the Presbyterian church
were fairly attended aud everybody seem
ed to be settling down for a good winters
work in the interest of the church. The
Pastor. Rev. X. III. Williams, preached
from Matthew, $3.50: Now the chief
priests and elders. and all the council
sought false witness against Jesus, to put
him to death"
He gave a very interesting account Of
our Saviour's life, from the time they set
out TO cruelty hin. the betrayal and the
mock trial by the Sanhedrim. The make
up of the latter, of what persons 1t con-
sisted and how many. Then he called at
tention to the indignities to which Christ
submitted for our sakes, even 10 the spit
ting in His face, the shifting and crown
ing with thorns.

WESLEY CHAPEL.
Rev. Samuel Shannon preached last
night in Wesley Chapel, a powerful SER
mon-powerful in instruction, very COM
prehensive, and one that showed an en-.
viable knowledge of the customs of men
and nations.
He took for his text the words uttered
by Hagar, to be found in Genesis 1913:
Thou God seest me.
He said, among other things: These
words were uttered by Hagar under very
peculiar circumstances, and they contain
truth which men ought never to forget.
This truth should be remembered in
times of sorrow, because IL reminds us of
him who Is the source of all consolation.
1t should be remembered by the tried,
the intirm, and the aged christian, when
unable to attend the means of grace. 1t
should be especially remembered in the
house Of prayer.
The language of the text contains the
doctrine of divine Omniscience. God
knows all things-sees all things.
The whole sermon throughout was a
plain, simple, logical argument for the
Omniscience, Omniprescnce and Omnipo-
tence of God.

The autumnal equinox occurs on Wed

cross the tropic of Capricorn and enter
the winter solstice. About this time in
the year occur atmospheric disturbances,
generally accompanied by storms of great

clines to recognise the equinoctial storm
as an old acquaintance and the wealth
er clerks say that series of observations
taken through many years shows that the
crossing of the imaginary tropic lines
does not in itself bring a storm. 1t is
shown that only three per cent. more
rain falls than at the same period in any
other month. The storms only come
from the cooling of the atmosphere at
this season. and occur indiscriminately
before, after or on the equinoctial day.
